"Hello, my name is Cao Ping, and I am the owner of this shop. "www.biquge.info Cao Ping stretched out his hand and shook hands with the singer in front of him, the man in front of him had simply trimmed hair, smiled a little shyly, and his single-eyelid eyes were not big, but they revealed the calmness and vicissitudes of his age, and he was only wearing a simple T-shirt and a coat on the outside, which looked a little unsightly.

"Mr. Zhao Lei wants to use our bar as the ending of his solo tour this year. Huang Xuan explained with a smile that before Cao Ping came, he had already chatted with Zhao Lei for a while.

"Teacher, do you know him?" asked Cao Ping, puzzled.

Huang Xuan said: "Mr. Zhao Lei is quite famous in the folk music circle, and he has released two albums, and I especially like Mr. Zhao Lei's "Southern Girl". "He already likes to sing, and he knows a lot about the music industry.

Zhao Lei was very modest and said: "Don't, I can't be called a teacher, just call me Leizi." ”

Cao Ping nodded and asked, "Then you are also a little famous, so there should be no shortage of performance opportunities, right?

Zhao Lei smiled: "You are too exalted to me, I am not famous, folk songs are originally a small circle, those who play rock and roll are poor, and those who play folk songs are even poorer, I also have to eat, don't I? This year, I just saved some money to hold a national tour, which is a tour, that is, to go to various cities across the country to play music with friends who play folk songs, most of them are performed in Qing bars or cafes. When I went back to Beijing this time, I just wanted to get together with my buddies in Beijing again, and I signed up for a music program, and I wanted to use Boss Cao's stage to practice my voice. I went around in Beijing, the sound equipment is good to play rock, people don't take our folk songs to play together, the competition in Houhai is too big, I look down, you are not bad, the audio equipment is good, the environment is quiet, so I came. ”

Zhao Lei is a native of Beijing, and he speaks relatively straight, without so many twists and turns, and directly told Cao Ping his intentions, Cao Ping nodded, thought about it, and said: "I still focus on catering here, which is just not suitable for rock and roll, in this case, can I listen to your song first?"

"That's for sure. Zhao Lei nodded, musicians are also craftsmen, relying on craftsmanship to eat, trying to live is right. He took out the guitar from the guitar case, tried the sound, tuned it briefly, and then hugged the guitar and said, "Then I'll sing a song "Southern Girl" first." ”

Plucking the strings, a simple melody flows, but with a warm and tranquil power. In the past few days before the opening, Cao Ping asked Huang Xuan to take the waiters to thoroughly clean the store, and the chef Lao Xie also took his apprentices to prepare for the purchase, tidy up the kitchen and other chores, the store was somewhat noisy, but after Zhao Lei's piano sounded, the waiters began to gradually lower their voices, and the cooks in the kitchen also poked their heads out and looked curiously. Cao Ping nodded secretly, the guitar that played folk songs was not weak, and Huang Xuan was already immersed in the music.

After playing the prelude twice, Zhao Lei's slightly hoarse voice sounded:

The village in the north lives a girl from the south

She always likes to stand on the side of the road in a dress with flowers

She didn't say much, but her smile was so calm and melodious

Her weak eyes contained the sorrow of longing

The rainy winters of the towns in the south are not as cold as those in the north

She didn't need a bloated cotton coat to cover her watery face

She leaves a shadow fragrance on the streets where she comes and goes, and it will be a heartache

In the blink of an eye, the fragrance has drifted away, and the shadow is gone

......

In Zhao Lei's melodious singing, Cao Ping narrowed his eyes, and he remembered his grandmother in a trance. The gentle and virtuous lady who likes to smile is the southern girl in the song! Although the cooking skills are exquisite, but the grandmother's taste has always been light, I heard my grandfather mention that my grandmother's hometown seems to be from Hangzhou. Perhaps, only in the water towns of Suzhou and Hangzhou can we raise a woman like my grandmother who is proficient in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knitting, right?

After a song, Cao Ping was awakened by Huang Xuan's applause and waiters, Zhao Lei got up with a smile and bowed to everyone to thank him, Cao Ping also applauded, and said with a smile: "It's good!"

Zhao Lei smiled: "You're welcome." ”

Cao Ping thought for a while and said, "Then you can tell me a price for the appearance fee! ”

Zhao Lei hurriedly said: "Boss Cao, you can let me do this person's performance, it's already very face-saving, how can I still collect your money? Besides, I can't sing for a few days." Zhao Lei refused to accept the money, and Cao Ping still had something to do, so he settled down and said: "That's it! No matter how many days you sing or you come for one day, you will be given 10% of the turnover of the day." "This plan is more reasonable, he will take as many people as Zhao Lei can sing, or go back to eating with his ability, so Zhao Lei has no objection.

The singer was settled, and Cao Ping instructed Huang Xuan to continue recruiting singers as Zhao Lei's replacement, and he drove to Chengde in a small broken car.

It was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon in Chengde, and when I arrived at the hospital, Fang's mother was stretching her limbs and moving her joints to prevent muscle atrophy. ”

Fang's mother smiled and said: "Who is lazy? Xiaosu is diligent! How can a girl do this 24 hours a day? I am idle, besides, this is my son, I don't serve, let people serve, I don't feel at ease!"

Cao Ping said helplessly: "You are really idle, people are professional, you have to trust the medical staff? ”

"Go, what are you doing with all that unjust money?" Fang's mother said angrily: "It's enough to have me and Xiao Su, we can still take turns to rest! Don't worry about it, let's go to an interview with Reporter Wu!"

Cao Ping turned around and found that a strange woman had followed him in, standing awkwardly awkwardly. He hurriedly turned around and said, "You are Reporter Wu, right? I am Cao Ping." ”

"Oh, hello, hello!" Wu Qing stretched out her hand and shook hands with Cao Ping, finally seeing this mysterious Cao Ping, she carefully looked at the man in front of her. Cao Ping doesn't look very old, but he seems to be very mature and sophisticated. The appearance is not outstanding, but it is also above the average. The most impressive thing about the first meeting is his pair of sword eyebrows, full of heroism, and the whole person has an indescribable temperament, a little bit of Xuanang, but more of a fresh and handsome, godly and handsome spirit, giving people a feeling of vitality, but it doesn't seem to be so simple.

"Reporter Wu?" Cao Ping asked with a slight frown, what does this big-breasted sister mean by holding her hand?

Wu Qing reacted, quickly let go of his hand, smiled to hide his embarrassment and said, "Then are you free now?Can we start the interview?"

Cao Ping looked back and said, "Wait a while! I'll invite you to dinner in the evening, and we'll talk while eating." Every time he came over, he had to ask Fang's mother to have a good meal to replenish his body, and it was not too late to go after Xiao Fang's recovery was completed.

Fang's mother knew what Cao Ping meant, and turned back with a smile and said, "Xiaoping, you and Reporter Wu should go to eat! I won't go this time, I'll let Xiao Su cook for me." Cao Ping persuaded two more words, and Fang's mother smiled: "It's not bad this time or twice, won't you come over next time?" Cao Ping had no choice but to give up and prepare to take Wu Qing out to eat.

Xiao Su walked back with the lunch box, Cao Ping frowned and stepped forward to take a look, the dishes were quite rich, with meat and vegetarian combinations, and a small bowl of soup. Xiao Su was startled, she almost spilled the soup, she didn't know what Cao Ping was going to do, she couldn't help but be a little apprehensive. Speaking of which, she is still more afraid of Cao Ping, maybe because Cao Ping paid her salary, and the inherent impression that she and the boss are all bad guys, she feels that every time he comes over, she is not in a good mood, and the atmosphere is a little depressing, so it is more comfortable and natural to be with Fang's mother.

Nodding his head, he motioned for Xiao Su to bring the food in, and Cao Ping took Wu Qing out of the hotel.

asked Wu Qing, she is from Hubei, Cao Ping found a Hunan restaurant, asked for a box with Wu Qing, and sat down together.

Riding in Cao Ping's small broken car, Wu Qing added a little curiosity to him, except for his appearance, Cao Ping doesn't look like a figure in the entertainment industry, why can he let the international chapter be mentioned twice at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony?

Taking advantage of the gap between serving food, Wu Qing took out her notebook and started the interview, at the beginning she asked some simple questions to foreshadow, Wu Qing followed up and asked: "Then Mr. Cao Ping, how did you enter the entertainment industry?"

Cao Ping took a sip of water and said: "I dropped out of school in Hengdian in the second half of last year to join my relatives, and soon after I started to play tricks in Hengdian, by chance, let Jackie Chan know my skills, and I was brought into the film industry by him." ”

Hearing that there was still something about Jackie Chan's big brother, Wu Qing was even more interested, holding a notebook to remember, Cao Ping continued: "The first crew I entered was "The Grandmaster", in which I served as a martial arts commander, mainly cooperating with Teacher Yuan Heping to design martial arts movements, the eighth master is a very good teacher, and what I learned from him can be used by me for a lifetime." ”

"Then Mr. Yuan Heping is the person you are most grateful for entering the entertainment industry?" Wu Qing deliberately led the rhythm of the conversation.

"No!" Cao Ping shook his head and said: "I am most grateful to Brother Jackie Chan, he is my guide, it can be said that without him, there would be no me, if he hadn't taken me into the film industry, maybe I would still be playing tricks in Hengdian!"

The topic was brought over, and Wu Qing continued to ask: "As far as I know, you signed a contract with Hong Kong Jackie Chan Emperor Pictures before, but why is there any news of your termination recently?"

Cao Ping paused, took another sip of water, and said, "This matter is related to Brother Fang's injury. ”

"Then how did Fang Mingyuan get hurt?" Wu Qing asked.

Cao Ping glanced at her and said, "This is confidential, you can't say it." ”
